<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 725576, member: 5233&quot;]So, I picked up 3 more coins for my Third Reich collection.&nbsp; I am very happy with all of them.&nbsp; Here are a few pictures.&nbsp; Please let me know what you think they grade and after a little while I will let you know what grade I purchased them as.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first coin is a 1944-A (Berlin mint) 1 Reichspfennig.&nbsp; It is made of zinc, I particularly like this coin because you can clearly see how poor the metal quality was this late in the war...most clearly on the reverse.</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1944-A1Reichspfennig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next, this is a 1940-A 2 Reicspfennig.&nbsp; This coin is bronze.&nbsp; I bought it in part because of the unique mark on the front.&nbsp; It might look like a staple scratch at first but it is actually a lint mark.&nbsp; </p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1940-A2Reichspfenniglintmarkobverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, this is a 1940-F (Stuttgart mint) 5 Reichspfennig.&nbsp; This coin is zinc and is the first year this denomination was made in zinc.&nbsp; I bought this coin due to the exceptional luster.&nbsp; WWII German zinc coins are very hard to find with good luster...but this one has it.&nbsp; Unfortunately, this coin displays spotting that is typical for the zinc issues.&nbsp; But, I got it for a good price and the luster made it worth it.</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1940-F5Reichspfennig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, please let me know what you think and what you would grade them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
